Go the distance to the Carthusian monastery, La Cartuja de Miraflores, to see the beautiful works by Gil de Siloe, arguably the greatest 15th-century Spanish sculptor. The visit is restricted to the church built by Juan of Cologne in the Elizabethan Gothic style. Inside, Gil’s mastery is evident in the starry funerary statues of King Juan II of Castille and Isabel of Portugal, the parents of Isabel la Católica.
He is also responsible for the tombs of Juan de Padilla and Isabel’s brother the Infante Alfonso, as well as the immaculate polychrome altarpiece, which is said to have been guilt with the first gold that arrived from the conquest of the New World. To reach the Cartuja de Miraflores you’ll more than likely want to catch the bus from Plaza de España. The nice walk follows the River Arlanzón to the east and makes a pass through the Parque de la Quinta; it takes upwards of an hour and is marked along the way.
